I had too a lot troubles instaling ATI drivers in 10.3. I finally
managed to install it from runlevel 3 uninstalling it previously. It
was the only way the installation was complete and running.
Excuse me for my bad English.

10.3 upgrade (reinstall) on thinkpad T60.10.2 was running ATI drivers just fine, also had compiz running great.
No matter what I do, I cannot get away from the VESA framebuffer drivers with 10.3.
I've downloaded a version of the ATI drivers - 8.40.4 which supports xorg 7.2. The installer runs, apparently OK, aticonfig says it's has fixed the xorg.conf file.
However, checking for the fglrx kernel module comes back empty, so I manually loaded the fglrx module with the script in /lib/modules/fglrx, and it now shows up in lsmod.
Nonetheless, if I run sax2, I only ever get the vesa FB, non 3D graphics. Running sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx fails, and the log shows no devices found.
Any ideas, anyone?
"no devices found" is the error message from the 8.41 driver. Are you sure you removed it completely before installing the 8.40 driver?
Also, don't trust sax about 3d here. It doesn't know about the fglrx driver you just installed. Once you have the 8.40 driver properly installed and the 8.41 version completely removed, run "sax2 -m 0=fglrx" and accept the settings. You will get 3d from it
